Del Mar Hotel - Santa Marta (Magdalena)

Del Mar offers a beautifully modern room with perfect cleanliness and a awesome breakfast selection that captures local flavors. The pool area is well-designed, nice for a refreshing breeze from the sea. The hotel's proximity to the beach and vibrant promenade adds to its charm, with plenty of restaurants within walking distance. This hotel stands out for its thoughtful amenities, including a foot washing station for beachgoers.

The check-in process was notably slow.

Perfectly clean hotel, more than adequate and astonishing breakfast, the location is absolutely perfect so close to the historical center of Santa Marta, restaurants, and many stores and restaurants. Caring staff, they know their business. The ambiance is family. We stay in family room quite often, it is good-sized and impeccable. There are lots of supplies like: a safe, a work desk, and a TV. Thank you for a really good stay.

it had a great and easy location close to the restaurants, sea and beach and the national park. tried some takeout specials at wendy's, luckily it was just a short walk away from the venue.

Consider using the foot washing station right at the entrance to easily clean off sand after your beach outings.

The venue was well priced, I thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the location was absolutely perfect close enough to the center of El Rodadero as well as beach. The staff was helpful and very caring and catered to my every need. The room was neat & modern with AC and a comfortable bed and good windows. Its service was good. No reason to complain, the hotel met requirements.

best possible and easy location to explore santa marta, awesome breakfast with arepas, fresh juice.

During my 2-night stay, I was impressed by how accommodating and friendly the staff were. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring delicious arepas con queso, and the pool area was perfectly clean and inviting after long days exploring the nearby beach. I loved being just a short walk from the bustling beach scene and local attractions that Santa Marta has to offer.

The hotel features a thoughtful foot washing station for beachgoers, awesome for a hassle-free transition from sand to hotel.

I found the check-in process to be notably slow, which took away from the overall experience upon arrival.

While the hotel's location was decent, the breakfast area had birds scrounging for scraps like it was a buffet for them. And oh, the pool? It was dreadful with sand lurking in the corners. I really expected at least a complimentary drink for these inconveniences. Alas, one can't always receive what one deserves.

The pool was nice, but the mattress was a bit hard for my taste.

The swimming pool was a fantastic spot for the kids, especially with my little one splashing around happily. Breakfast was a treat, with delicious local options like arepas. The beach was just a quick stroll away.

My wife says that the check-in process was slow.

The pool area was lovely and perfect for our family, especially with two small kids. The staff was friendly and quick to assist. The breakfast was superb, with a nice mix of local and international options.

For dads, it would be great if there were more family-friendly activities available.

great location , but some areas need attention

The hotel's location was excellent, providing easy access to the beach and local attractions. The pool area was lovely. I appreciated the comfortable bed and well-equipped bathroom. I also found breakfast decent, with enough variety to kickstart my day.

The rooms were immaculate, and I appreciated the attentive staff. The breakfast was good, with traditional dishes that captured the essence of local cuisine.

Limited pool chairs.

The staff is accommodating, especially when I needed help with extending my stay. The vibrant area is full of Colombian and South American tourists, offering an authentic local experience, and the included breakfast featured delicious homemade yogurt, a pleasant surprise. Check-in was annoyingly slow, and the room insulation left much to be desired, resulting in noise disturbances throughout my stay. The air conditioning units were outdated and quite loud during the night.
